Page 78: What You Need To Know
18.2 What you need to know A few notions are required before considering the use of optical fibers. 18.2.1 The optical fiber Optical fibers are sometimes used for satellite reception. This technology enables makes it possible to transmit a signal further with less loss and with a larger bandwidth. The optical fiber is a waveguide, generally made of glass, that enables the transmission of the optical sig- nal. -
Page 79: Connectors
18.2.2 Connectors Like for RF, connectors are very important and their selection has consequences on the quality of the re- ceived signal. With optical fibers, there are several kinds of connectors according to the type of fiber (single-mode or mul- timode) and to the selected connection. -
Page 80: Optical Power Measurement
18.3 Optical power measurement To access the Measurement of Optical Power, press the key “Optical power measurement”. Warning: The appliance can measure only one wavelength at a time. If there are several wave- lengths, measurements will be wrong. Plug the optical fiber at the output of your equipment on to the optical FC APC socket of the appliance. Measurement of the losses at insertion: Make a first measurement at the LNB of your installation: press the reference of the desired wavelength. -
Page 81: The Satellite Reception Via Optical Fiber
18.4 The satellite reception via optical fiber With optical fibers, the satellite emission is the same as in standard reception mode, but at the output of the head, instead of 4 bands (HH HL VH VL), there are only 2 bands (vertical and horizontal) in optical signal mode (the optical head is powered by an independent external power supply). -
Page 82: Fiber Reception After Coupler
18.5 Fiber reception after coupler The optical option makes it possible to make measurements after terrestrial coupler / sat at the output of the fiber. Warning: The appliance can measure only one wavelength at a time. If there are several wavelengths, measurements will be wrong. - Page 83 Warning : - Optical Power measurement between -50 / +10 dBm - Optical conversion -> RF between -12 / -3 dBm Use an external optical attenuator if necessary.

Page 107: Typical Values For Measurements
• dBmV is a logarithmic ratio between a measured voltage Ud and a reference voltage Ur. The reference voltage is Ur = 1 mV N = 20 log (Ud/Ur) • dBm is a logarithmic ratio between a measured power Pd and a reference power Pr. The reference power is Pr = 1 mW into 75 ohms. -
Page 108: Terminology
26 Terminology K : The number of carrier waves of the DTT channel The 8K mode (6817 carrier waves in the channel, including 6048 carrying useful data) The 2K mode (1705 carrier waves in the channel, including 1512 carrying useful data) For the same purpose, the 8K mode allows the selection of a larger guard interval than the 2K mode, thus a better resistance to echoes : Method used to highlight the characteristics of the signal. - Page 109 mode). : Control mean for the quality of the signal by a group of points making spots on the ONSTELLATION screen of the field meter. The more circular and distinct the spots of the constellation, the better the quality of the signal.
- Page 110 REQUENCY: Parameter that characterizes the radio-electrical wave. It is measured in “Hertz“. We usually use some multiples of this unit: kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz), gigahertz (GHz). ex.: At Saint Etienne (Guizay), the TF1 frequency is 583.25 MHz P/LP: high/low priority → possibility to transmit 2 multiplexes under the same channel in digit format ( ex.: in COFDM, we have a very robust high priority flow in QPSK;...

It can be either: linearly polarized, horizontally or vertically: Circularly polarized to the right or the left In ground reception, the polarization is generally horizontal (the stalks of antennas are horizon- tal).
